As of 4:30 p.m. Friday, traffic on Staten Island is backed up from the Goethals Bridge to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge along the Staten Island Expressway in both directions.

A thick, dark red line stretches the length of the expressway on Google Maps, indicating that traffic is moving "slowly."

Delays on the Korean War Veterans Parkway are also being reported going toward the Outerbridge Crossing.

Google Maps shows delays back to Foster Road.

Traffic stretching the entire length of the borough's major arteries is nothing new to residents -- especially this summer.

Delays that used to begin during rush hour often begin hours earlier, as people try to beat the rush and head to the summer weekend getaway earlier in the day only to find themselves stuck in the same amount of traffic.
